    Don't buy this.

    This dodgy dealer is selling more crap he buys at turners salvage, and not telling the whole truth. He used to be cars on demand. (search it on here)

    This bike has a broken frame under the headstock at the front, it's been crudely welded, I wouldn't touch it.

    all very well to give us a warning, but if you are going to state this as fact you should perhaps first state who you are, and how you know this to be fact, and how you know this is the bike you think it is - otherwise you are just some other anonymous dude bad mouthing someone on the internet.

    His 100% positive feedback would mean lots of people disagree with you.

    Looking at your post history, it would seem that you're an obsessive stalker?

    Maybe he took her for a bad ride? There is always a risk of disatisfaction where used bikes are concerned.
    Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

    I thought cracked frames were standard on that model?

    Only at the back where the damper mounts if the bolt/nut weren't redone under factory recall.

    I got curious. There are a lot o posts of a smilar nature from the OP, and very little evidence to back it up. Come on buddy, why the hate? Unless you have proof, I'd be very careful of what is said in a public forum. You never know who is watching.

    Maybe he ran away with the OP's brush.

    IF this is the old Cars On Demand, then all the bad stuff you may hear is probably true. I have seen some of the bikes he bought from Turners and then saw what he was trying to pass them off as. IF this is the old Cars on demand, I'd run a thousand miles...

    the IF part is the problem.
    looks to me like OP has a grudge and their word is worth about as much as my promise to the missus that I wont get any speeding tickets on my weekend rides . . .
